***Please read & critique*** Ron Paul Vehicle Wraps, Wrap your car with RON PAUL

[alienpyro]

Keep in mind, prices don't matter. There is going to be no cost for the volunteer unless they would like to donate funds as well. All that really matters is the assembly of this list of volunteered cars and companies willing to do these installations.

Also keep in mind, these are all going to be professionally installed AND removed when requested. So whether you lease or own, its completely safe for your car.

I am working overtime to get this site up and running. Which will clarify things a bit further.

what was the email address to send the info too? And I'm working on writing my story about the older vet for whoever is interested!

I think we ought to be able to get a large discount for a bulk order.

I am the coordinator of the meetups in DFW, and the person who owns familiesforfreedom and put these wraps together is one of my asst organizers. She is already getting rock-bottom pricing both from the wrap manufacturer and from 3M, the former because he is a Paul supporter and the latter because the wraps place does a ton of business with them. These prices are already WAY lower than you would normally pay. I doubt they'll be able to take them lower.

This would be great on my new Ford Ranger! A shame I'm in PA.

That's great and all but i can't afford a wrap on my own. That company families for freedom is charging.... the alienguy says that it would be cost free... i dunno, i want to help but i shouldnt have to pay for the wrap on top of volunteering my car.... thats a little too much... if that company wants to wrap my car for free they can but i can't afford a thousand dollars, and i think that is true for the majority of us...

but i think that the goal is to build up a list of volunteers that would want to have their cars wrapped cost free, before we worry about pricing and what not.. money shouldnt be an issue if we find outside financing/donations.. leave that stuff up to the people with the money and know-how, the rest of us can just provide our info and wait to see if everything pans out. Remember we are pushing an idea here not a product or company...

 

[jblosser]

Of course they are charging. The materials have cost, and it's hours of labor to apply them. Obviously someone has to pay for them at some point. If the guy who made this thread wants to find people to fund other people putting them on their cars that's great; I was responding to the person who was assuming they could get a group discount. There's just not a lot left to shave off.

My company uses magnetic decals around 2' x 2' for our trucks. Is there anything like that for The Revolution. It would be nice to have something that is easily removable. For instance I can't g into work with a Ron Paul decal on my vehicle(Major Drug Company), however if I drive on trips I would like to have some decals on the doors..
Just an idea.

There are lots of magnetic car stickers you can get for your truck, both from grassroots and the official campaign.

I can't find my favorite one, but there are tons out there.

I changed the title to reflect the fact that at this stage we are gathering volunteers.

The website is coming along and will be up by tomorrow evening. I want to thank everyone that has already volunteered or expressed their interest. Lets get a fleet of Ron Paul Mobiles going in every major city.

On a side note. Are there any graphic designers out there that could help design a vehicle wrap. Feel free to post pictures of designs so we can all critique them and come up with the perfect wrap. Please post suggestions here in addition to emailing me at:

Is there anything that can really stop us at this point.

In order for this to be most effective I would use the prices on the link provided earlier as a base figure on cost per wrap. Then figure out which areas you want to target and how many vehicles that means. Then figure out the resulting total price including the cost of having each wrap put on professionally (just average across regions to account for differences in local pricing).

Then consider if the total funds are realistically obtainable. If not cut out some regions or trim down the number of vehicles.

Then start raising funds on the assumption that worst case we can use the prices calculated - but best case we find a cheaper deal and can simply do more cars.

 

[Mark Rushmore]

PS. After that I would make a map of the US showing prominently with big red dots what regions are covered - and let people donate to each region independently. That way people can weigh what they themselves think to be worthwhile - and most likely anyone who donates can get a chance to see the locally funded car in return.

My great-grandpa (who is still alive and living in Florida) was in the battle of the bulge. Please tell your story!

I'm working on the story I hope it's enjoyed and conveys the message I am trying to establish. If I don 't finish writing tonight it will def. be tomorrow and I'll post immediately.


P.s. Everybody else, I got my little brother to agree to donate the use of his volvo.... who's in charge of this thing and how do we know how many volunteers we have and where they are from, so we know what areas need volunteers the most, but still count me in for 2 cars in Columbus, Ohio!

[erin moore]

NICE!

That's very professional! I wanted to write something on my back whindshield, but I'd rather have decals or a body-wrap!

If you're going to pimp your ride "Ron Paul" style, you might as well go all-out

 

[Man from La Mancha]

What is the price, body wraps are over $1000? idon't understand how you say they will be free?

[erin moore]

ebay, man. it was too easy. I love ebay.

 

[alienpyro]

We will probably assemble some kind of fund raiser after we get a list of volunteers and a installers assembled. That is the key at the moment.

Once I get the website up and running, I think it will clarify things for everyone. I am hoping it will be up by later tonight. Probably in the 1 am to 2 am est ball park.

 

[alienpyro]

it doesn't look great but it's a start..... If you know of a graphic designer that can help please direct them to the website..

it should be viewable in a few hours
